Hey guys. I don't have anything substantial to add just yet, though I am determined to get the written reffing scale done before I go back to class; just working through a backlog of non-dcNET obligations first. In the meantime, though, it would be awesome if you guys could do a friend of mine a favor and check out this link. It leads to a page of the Pepsi Refresh Everything competition, benefiting a project called Hiram Farm. The idea is that you can vote for a project once per day in a bid to boost its rankings. The top ten projects in each category get a grant from Pepsi to help get them off the ground or reach a certain goal. Hiram Farm is a project run by this friend's father, intended to provide a constructive place for autistic adults to spend time. It'd be a big help to them and their community, and if they can place in the top ten they win fifty thousand dollars, so it'd be pretty awesome if you could give your support and vote for them at least once, if not once a day!
Unfortunately voting does require that you sign up for a free account on the Refresh Everything website, but it only appears to need that so that it can keep track of the number of votes you've made per day. You can uncheck the boxes that ask if you want newsletters–I haven't been sent anything so far–and if it really bugs you you can always use an old email address or something, or sign up for a quick free one you can use for junk stuff.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give Hiram Farm. Here's the link again, just in case you missed it: Hiram Farm @ Pepsi Refresh. (Oh, and if you've got a Facebook page or Twitter account and can spread the news to your friends, that'd be cool too!)
